Collateral (1st Iteration)

[Chinorlz]

This is the best work I've seen you do. I have instantly fallen in love.
Eager to see pics of the white leather, though slightly disappointed to hear that they are strapless.

I look forward to an opportunity in which I will get to handle some Collateral.

Thanks again guys! Again, these are just the beginning :)

unfortunately they'll most likely be strapless. After burning through some test skins, I was delivered only ONE nearly-perfect skin in white. Apparently it's one of the harder colors to do really well.

DjI, I need to call back my 'roo guy. Depending on the size of the skins he can get me, I may or may not be able to do them strapped or not. We'll have to see how big these roos are. Roo skin is really surprisingly expensive (really really expensive). But I'm going by quotes from other guys, I have to talk to this guy and find out the details. Will keep you posted.

Was able to handle this piece during a recent visit to Sartorialoft– truly incredible stuff.

Albert, you make grandma's gloves look downright lazy. Inspirational...

[Avantster]

congratulations, A. you are taking things to a new level.

[Chinorlz]

indeed.this time I'm more impressed by the piece than with the fact that you are doing all this by yourself as a side project. Brilliant A, just brilliant. I wouldn't mine to own a pair :)

Thanks again guys!

I'm working on the pattern of a shirt for the upcoming collection that should hopefully also blow minds

Since the photos, I've been inundated with pm's about the gloves!

These are just a sneak preview of the upcoming collection and are not yet available for purchase. They will be presented along with the rest of the collection in approximately 2 months as I complete the other pieces.

Stores will be receiving one of each piece as part of a full display of the collection and orders can be made at that time.

For these gloves, they will be made in 3 sizes (essentially S,M,L) with your average hand fitting the M.

As the design/construction process continues, I'll post photos of this process... sort of a picture form of my approach and thinking.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful support! Making a tired man smile

nice gloves
good work. can't wait to see the shirt.

i didn't get the funds to buy the doctors bag, but these gloves may be my first collateral purchase

fingerless gloves look more amazing every time I see them, can't wait to own my own pair A.

[Spencer]

Holy shit. I don't even wear gloves and I want these.

[hamham3002]

wow those gloves are so amazing..
very very original piece and maybe the best looking n most functional gloves i've seen..

[Sombre]

^I agree with you that they're amazing and original, but you're pushing it at functional. They are fingerless gloves after all. It's a piece you indulge yourself in, not wear for function.

[Avyer]

I would think he meant functional in the sense that you can move your hand in them... While not much for a truely cold enviroment, I think they'll suit the weather where I live, and allow me use of my phone without taking the glove off, so that's functionality to me.

Thanks avyer, that was exactly what i meant with 'functional'
